tulip

Thisnweekmi bought another 300zx I have owned a 2+2 tt manual uk spec for the last 11 years and still love it but I seen this advertised I knw of it by word of mouth anf the fact its different I went to look and bought Its 1995 SWB, slick top, TT, manual, in pearl white it was imported into Ireland from Japan in 2006 and had one owner from then, much cared for, however in 2012 he got his dream job at Nassau in California, garaged the z in the hope of bringing it over, but with emmission laws there this was not possible, so a ver tough decision made tomsell it. I know he was gutted but all I could assure him was it was going to a good home where it would be cared for. The following have been done TB at 62, 000 Cat back exhaust, new mid pipes (inc. Original pipes but with dual cat convertors)****** New turbo elbows**** New cross drilled discs and new pads all round, original calipers Hive intake system **** Boost controller, TurbomTimer, 16 bit ECU rated to 0.8 bar Under drive pulley*** Lightened fly wheel Electric fan Racing cluthch less than 5000km Defi turbo gauge, including pressure reading recording system and limiter system**** New pioneer stereo inc. remote control Cobra alarm Tyres 90% Yoyos Tr1 less than 500km 17" alloys Original mats and seats with stitched in 300zx. The things I have marked **** I havent a clue what they do!!!!! Sorry 77, 000 not sure mls or kms all mods from Z1 Motorsports. Bad bits some rust spots, and songy back shocks, that all I can see for now. All opinions positive and negative really appreciated.

Thank you all for the welcome back and great to see so many familiar names on here I am going to start another thread about the car

Fantastic Dave. Good to hear from you again Gary Wilson ????? How did u know which one

Thanks graham, sell my baby, never, just added to the collection, I kinda remembered the swb, st, tt was a bit rarer and manual as welll nice to see there are still some familiar faces on here. I will try get some pics up tomorrow. Hope your well too. See your getting her painted!!!!!!! At last

I am so excited I just bought a SWB.......SLICKTOP.......TT.........MANUAL in pearl white, need a bit of tlc, but a nice find.

I am female, just coulnt think of a user name, when I get sorted and subscribe I hope to go back to being tulip

There may be some on here that remember me, I have had to re- register , used a different name, as I dont have access to my old email acc, Inwas the person formerly known as TULIP, and I have just tonight bought myself another zed, so coming back to the fold if I may, a bit of a different model than I thought I would ever own

timing belt...............dahh.................... asking price is 5k euro i still have my own will never sell that 1

ian i need some advice, i have a chance to buy a 1996 lwb auto, black, 70,000kms, leather interior (strange for jap import??), last week TB done, 4 new tyres, mot passsed last week, i owner for 5 months since imported here, good aftermarket wheels, 2 new cats, good clean car, what you think its worth, keeping in mind if i brought 1 from the uk i would have to pay about 2,000 tax, this has tax paid already im talking euro of course, thanks

thanks you all, if there was another sc xmas party im there

thanks shaun, yes i think i have a fairly positive attitude thank god, its what keeps me going, that and work and my family/friends, not moaning too much its just like, why now, and good luck with your test results, this can be a great place to share your worries, a lot of caring people on here and kinda anon.

dont know where to start with this, it monday morning and im sittting here crying having read my pms, (you know who you are) i havent logged on in a week as i couldnt bear to see the jae pics, i was so gutted i didnt make it. for those who know me after eventually getting my home life sorted last nov, gave up smoking in jan, and this year what should have been the happiest year in my life in a long time and i have 2 big health scares, i collapse a couple of times, cat scan etc. they investigate a poss tia, but clear thank god, still having tests but they are talking something like post traumatic stress, having lived on the edge for so long?? then i had a cancer scare, had a biopsy, and was waiting for the results in the weeks coming up to jae, this had been going on for a few weeks previously and i had another procedure, i got the sotra all clear only on the tues/wed of jae week but by that time the ferry was too expensive and i really wasnt with it, my sister was coming as well and she was disappointed, i am stage 1 cell change and will need to get a test every 6 months from now on to monitor it. i am so happy you all had a great weekend, and big congratulations to jason getting the 2 big jae awards, thanks for the pms and touching to hear i was missed, roll on next year, cheerz trish

welcome along anthony, at least admin know im doing my job over here "z stalking":whistling:, glad to see your finding the site helpful, they are really a great bunch on here and have vast z knowledge. i take it you didnt make japfest at mondello, i tried ringing you that morning, i did some drag but found the downhill start difficult. i was only 300 there i had a quick drink with chewie on sat as i was in waterford i will pass you on his no. trish

i shall let you know when i book, thanks

thank you fellow reo , im in the right region but is anyone from here going fri?

mine work perfectly but i really dont see the point, if the car is polished nicely all they seem to do is squirt water onto the bonnet, if the headlights had little wipers i would understand

coming in to holyhead friday morning early, whose region am i in, thanks in advance, my uk geography is sh..., maybe we can meet up with someone or them with us just a thought

with no responses before this i didnt book a stand, but i should be there, there maybe room on another stand i will check, talk then

i know there is a nice white original 1, is it naf, it was at jae last year, age+blonde moment if i am mixed up

having established a couple of businesses in the past, and now working as a regional account manager visiting retail shops on a daily basis, some things i remember are for funding bank---- have a good business plan, with a 3 year projection of turnover/outgoings and p+l, try to guess all their questions and have your answers ready, even if they dont lend you the money its a very good preparation/practice for other agencies. try a few different ones. credit unions, local government enterprise centres, government business schemes, local regeneration schemes, retail in general is going through an extremely tough time atm, however rents etc are very good, good luck with your venture

thanks gary, the reason i like it is, its a moment that kinda captures 2 important things in my life, family and the z, we were at a car show and my daughter(amelias mother ) was in her mk11 supra, me in the z, and now another generation, i also have 5 grandsons who also love their cars.
